Davies calls on Hull to tighten up at the back

Hull City skipper Curtis Davies admits they need to get tighter at the back.

Steve Bruce's side have let slip a lead four times in their last two games including at Newcastle when they were two up with just 17 minutes left.

Now Davies is demanding they tighten up without losing their new-found cutting edge.

"It seems like we have gone the other way from last year," said the centre half.

"We had a solid base, kept a lot of clean sheets and nicked a few 1-0 wins.

"Right now, the clean sheets aren't coming which is very frustrating because we've started scoring goals.

"It's a shame we haven't been able to hold leads. We've got all this attacking talent but need to make sure we don't switch off at the back."
